Son Graduated Basic

nobody@vox.com(LaCresha) — Sun, 08 Jun 2008 08:23:51 -0700

Thursday was family and our first time to see and hug our soldiers in over 10 weeks!! Friday was graduation day and right after he graduated he had to report to his AIT unit. We waited a couple of hours for him to get processed into his new unit and to see if he would get a weekend pass to come home with us. HE DID!!!!! We've had a wonderful weekend with him. Today he goes back to Ft. Sill to begin his AIT training. I hate to see him go again. This is the only weekend he will have to come home. He will have access to his cell and laptop in the evening though. He's not taking his laptop because one of the guys had his stolen Friday after just arriving at AIT.

Josh should have started basic Friday at Ft. Jackson. I haven't heard from him. We don't even have an address yet. I'm hoping he will call today. Here is a video from Thursday. It's of me hugging my soldier (Brad) for the first time in over 10 weeks!! Enjoy!

Update On Me

nobody@vox.com(LaCresha) — Fri, 25 Apr 2008 15:49:40 -0700

Well by the grace of God my mom is paying the upfront fee. Of course we had to hear a lot of blah, blah, blah....but it's done! This week has been a rough week for me, very, VERY emotional for some reason. I think it has to do with Josh leaving in 4 weeks, and Brad's training has stepped up to "White Phase" which means he is very busy and tired. I've missed him so much this week, it was like the week he left...BAD! I did find some photo's I've been searching for.

Surgery Update

nobody@vox.com(LaCresha) — Mon, 21 Apr 2008 11:27:34 -0700

Well this morning I got the call from my mom she's home and now will not help me pay the upfront fee for my surgery. It looks like I will have to cancel my surgery until late August :o(

Please keep me in your prayers as the pain is getting worse.

What a day...

nobody@vox.com(LaCresha) — Wed, 16 Apr 2008 20:47:01 -0700

Well this was some day. I had my appointment and will have a complete hysterectomy on April 30th. After my appointment we rushed to the hospital in Chickasha. My mom had been rushed there by paramedics. She was at a doctors appointment and had a reaction to dye they had given her for a test. She had to be revived and rushed to the ER. SHe is now in ICU. I will go back tomorrow to be with her. It looks like we will be moving back home and taking care of her in her home. What a day! I'm exhausted and need to take some pain meds. Good Night!
